A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust by Sally Garcia

Chapter 401

After dinner, Calliope and Eamon wrapped up a game of chess, and she was ready to head out.

As soon as she stepped outside, Gideon seized the moment to follow her. "I'm getting married tomorrow."

Gideon moved to stand in front of Calliope, looking her straight in the eyes.

"If you don't speak up now, you'll lose your chance. I'm about to marry her."

He just couldn't let it go. He was still holding onto a fantasy about her. He couldn't believe she had moved on so quickly. It didn't make sense; she had once loved him with such intensity, as if her life depended on it.

Calliope's mouth twitched. "Seriously, Gideon? Tomorrow's your wedding. Of course, I know. I've been helping with the planning all this time. I'm your aunt by marriage, after all. I may be your 'little aunt,' but I'm not that unreliable."

"And what do you mean I won't have a chance if I don't speak up? What chance do I even need? A chance to pick up trash? Gideon, you were someone I tossed into the trash. The dumpster's filthy, why would I ever retrieve anything from it? I'd send it straight to the incinerator!"
